word problems.

Johnny lives in a crappy apartment at point A. He wants to go to this party at
his friend Scottie's house (point B) that he heard this other girl Jill was going
to that he really liked, but isn't sure if she likes him back. Johnny gets the idea that
he brings some alcohol to the party, then not only will he score points with his girl,
but they will both get super sloshed. Well, the liquor store (point C) is only about 5
blocks out from Johnny's house so he drives out to get a whole bunch of bourbon (which he
heard from his friend Nick is totally Jill's favorite) and proceeds to drive the 15 blocks it
takes to get out to Scottie's place. Now when Johnny gets to the house and reveals that he
picked up booze everyone gets super excited, especially Jill. The two spend three hours getting
trashed and telling each other about how they dislike the Chinese. Finally, Jill suggests they go
back to Johnny's place. This suggestion sounds perfect to Johnny, who hasn't had nearly as much as
Jill and is totally good to drive (totally...) . Johnny suggests that they go back the way he came,
but Jill claims to know a short cut through the suburbs that her family lives in. The road, she claims
is a direct beeline to Johnny's apartment complex, and it's a bit shorter.

You decide. Would it make more sense to go Johnny's way? or Jill's?
